摘要:

本文报道了Mn替代CeNi0.8Bi_2中Ni的结果(即CeNi0.8-xMnxBi_2)。由于Ce离子上的4f-磁矩局域化,所有样品在TN = 5.0 K以下都具有反铁磁有序态。除了由Ce引起的这种反铁磁有序之外,磁性和输运性质在x = 0.4的边界组合物处随着Mn含量的增加而突然改变。当x > 0.4时,磁性状态在200 K附近变为铁磁状态,其中电阻率被强烈抑制而变为简单金属。这些铁磁性和金属性的结果可以用双交换机制来解释。用X射线光电子能谱学(XPS)证实了Ni和Mn离子的混合价态。当x <= 0.4时,随着x的增加,Ni 3+态逐渐转变为Ni 2+态。当x > 0.4时,Ni 2+态取代Mn 2+态,并逐渐转变为最终的Mn 3+态。本文还介绍了在1.2 ~ 12 K之间CeNi0.8Bi_2(x=0)的非弹性中子散射(INS)测量结果。高能INS研究揭示了在1.2 K和6 K下,在9 meV和19 meV附近存在两个定义良好的晶体电场(CEF)激发,而低能INS研究揭示了在4 K以上存在准弹性散射。我们将基于晶体电场模型讨论CeNi0.8Bi 2的INS结果。

英文摘要:

We report the results of Mn substitution for Ni in CeNi0.8Bi2, (i.e. CeNi0.8-xMnxBi2). All the samples have an antiferromagnetic ordered state below TN = 5.0 K due to localized 4f-magnetic moment on the Ce ions. Besides this antiferromagnetic ordering caused by Ce, the magnetic and transport properties are abruptly changed with increasing Mn contents at the boundary composition of x = 0.4. The magnetic state is changed into a ferromagnetic state around 200 K for x > 0.4, where the electrical resistivity is strongly suppressed to become simple metallic. These results of ferromagnetism and metallicity can be explained by the double-exchange mechanism. The mixed valence states of Ni and Mn ions are confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For x <= 0.4, the initial Ni3+ state gradually changes to the Ni2+ state with increasing x up to 0.4. On further increase of x > 0.4, the Ni2+ state is substituted for the Mn2+ state, which gradually changes to the final Mn3+ state. We also present an inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on CeNi0.8Bi2 (i.e. x=0) between 1.2 and 12 K. The high energy INS study reveals the presence of two well defined crystal electric field (CEF) excitations near 9 meV and 19 meV at 1.2 K and 6 K, while the low energy INS study reveals the presence of quasi-elastic scattering above 4 K. We will discuss our INS results of CeNi0.8Bi2 based on the crystal electric field model.
